the ragged hearts - alt folk band

The Ragged Hearts are a transatlantic husband-and-wife alt-folk duo from New York and North East UK - a creative and life partnership that blends very different voices and influences into a UK roots and world-tinged Americana sound.

Their songs are rooted in real life, shaped by questions and wonderings, and directly influenced by family, friends, and world happenings. Even as an acoustic duo, live performances mix driving rhythms, soaring harmonies and story-driven songwriting to make you move, think and feel.

Their signature track "Home Fires" shows off an infectious foot-stomping side - an upbeat energetic reflection on England’s 2024 summer riots and our current political climate, and a driving call to push into love and hope in divided times.
